Important Guidance for Your Tigers

ID's Must Be Worn Everyday

As part of our commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all students, all students are required to wear their school-issued ID badges every day while on campus and to all school-sponsored events.


Wearing IDs helps us identify students quickly and easily, and it plays a key role in maintaining a safe and organized environment for everyone.


Please help us by reminding your child to wear their ID each day before heading to school. If your child has misplaced their ID, please have them visit the main office to arrange for a replacement. There is a cost for each replacement.


We appreciate your cooperation and partnership in keeping our school a safe and positive place for learning. Should you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact the school office.



Thank you for your continued support!

Traversa Ride 360 Mobile App - Update


Richland One Parents,

In January, our Student Transportation Services department rolled out the My Ride 360 mobile app. The free secure app, provided by the South Carolina Department of Education, allows parents or guardians to have instant access to their children’s school bus transportation information through a real-time GPS tracker.

Please be advised that improvements have been made to the My Ride 360 app, and it is transitioning to a new platform called My Ride K-12. If you downloaded the My Ride 360 app, you will need to download the new My Ride K-12 app from the App Store (Apple iOS) or Google Play (Android). You must transition to the new app by Wednesday, May 1, 2024. After May 1, you will need to create a new account.

With the new app, you will use the same user name and password you used to log into the My Ride 360 app. Once you have downloaded the new My Ride K-12 app, please make sure that your children’s information has transferred over from the old app. If it is not there, delete the My Ride K-12 app and download it again. When you see your children’s information in the My Ride K-12 app, delete the old My Ride 360 app.

Note: Do not delete the old My Ride 360 app before downloading the new My Ride K-12 app.

Additional information is posted on the Student Transportation Services page on the district’s website (www.RichlandOne.org). Click on the Departments tab and go to Student Transportation Services; you will see the My Ride K-12 link on the left side of the page.

If you have any questions, contact Student Transportation Services at (803) 231-7002.

Thank you and have a good evening.
